Elves Live  In The Land     
     Beyond  The  Great  Dam.     
  It  Was Built  In The  Late Sixties.  
     The Elves Came To Us  Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To Trust Them.           Us 
 Kids Would Play  Down  At The Water Even 
 Though We Were  Not Allowed.       
    Sometimes  The Sluice  Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And  The  River At  The  Dams 
 Foot Would Dry  Up,  Revealing The Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That  Had   Been  Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
       Before The Dam  Opened  Again, 
 There Would Be  A Signal, But  The Elves 
 Would Make Us  Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We Would Find  The Water Rising, Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
  By Then  The  Elves Would Be  Gone.
